I've done a lot of classical music aswell on them..and it sounds AWESOME on some of them.. haven't had the time to get any better video yet though And I have to use a external mic to be able to capture the sound somewhat decently..

It's a array of floppydrives hooked up to a microcontroller which is again connected to a computer which runs some software that converts midi-music to frequencies that the floppydrives can "play" by controlling the steppermotors

a floppydrive is what you put floppydisks into if you dont know what they look like look at the picture next to save on you computer

Stop worrying about how you look, and start worrying about how you play. Get out on the field and play paintball the best you can, not stand at home in front of a mirror trying to figure out if your jersey matches your eyes.

Damn Nobben is making me feel old and I'm probably only a year or two older then him. I remember taking projects to school on floppy drives because usb memory cards either hadn't been invented or were extremely rare.

In case anybody needs to know what a floppy disk looks like.

If you want to get sponsored, present yourself as a mature adult, not a four year old with a crayon.

Don't remember floppy-disks? I remember when we used regular casette tapes
As a matter of fact.. I get a fuzzy warm feeling just thinking about the commodore 64 days.. The waiting, the colorspashing on the tv-screen... And I STILL to this day, LOVE 8bit music. GOOD TIMES.

The microcontroller is the most expensive... About 40 or so.. The rest is stuff I had laying around..
you'll need:

-Programmable Microcontroller
-Floppy-ribbon-cable/ or cat5 leads.
-Floppy-drives(preferably 8 of them)
-Some breadboard-cables
-A powersupply from a computer to Power the drives
-A computer to run the midi files through
-Serial/Com to USB package driver
-Midi files.
-Patience to get everything to do what you want.

Kinda wish youd stop moving the camera though, not because i dont want to see it, it's juts that the sound gets louder and quiet quickly perhaps mute the video overlay it with a balanced recording of the floppy's?

This is just a test as lots of people nag at me to Get something new up I'll bring my hd-camera and some high-end external mic to record the audio/video next week will be MUCH better in both video and sound regards..
